    I think it is strange that he is "adamant" on not taking George to the vet. Is it that he doesn't want to face the fact that he might be really sick? Or is there something else (like he's not his cat and he poofed him years ago)?
    Well, I hope the GF will take your advice and suggestions to at least help George in the meantime to be comfortable. And I hope you can eventually get through to your friend/neighbor to get George to the vet.
    Good luck!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    ARGH! How can you stand it, Candace?! I'd be getting more and more upset.

    Poor George . . . .

    At least there is some good change. This was in an email from my GF this morning:

    Also, regarding George, he now has some greenies for his teeth and the tartar drops in his drinking water. I also bought some Now food which we have mixed into his canned food, and he really seems to be doing better than before - more energy for sure.
    ETA: "Now" is a Canadian-made grain free dry food. My guys get it - the senior weight management formula.

    I suggested to my GF that after a month or so of the Greenies and tartar drops, George might be able to handle some dry on its own. It's NOT as good as a dental, I know - but George is doing better, and that is hopeful.

    At least she is willing to try something to help the baby and not just ignore the problem! That is progress!

    I gave her all the suggestions I could - and she went through with them! I HOPE George will gain a little weight. I am sure her BF agreed - change of food and all sorts of stuff.

    He is such a sweet loving kitty...so I am glad to hear he is doing better.

    God bless you, Candace.
